First and only poetry collection published during Georg Trakl's (1887-1914) lifetime. Individual poems had previously been published in magazines. Interested, Kurt Wolff wrote to Trakl on April 1, 1913: "I read your poems in Brenner with great interest and would like to ask if you would be willing to send me a collection of your poems that you consider suitable for publication." That same month, Trakl sent the requested selection to K. Wolff Verlag. One of Georg Trakl's major works. A very fine copy. - Smolen 7/8.1.A with ill. 20. - Raabe 304/3.
